2nd blog post for this blog

It's been a while since I've posted in this blog. For those who don't know, I'm currently sick so I took a day off from work but at least this gives me time to post here as well as to comment on other people's entries.

So, my internship here at Faradale Media is coming to an end soon. So far, I have done a lot of journalism work and a fair bit of PR but all in all, it's been fun. Last week, I wrote an article on the development of women in Sarawakian politics and it was quite a personal piece for me because I strongly agree that there should be more women leaders in the politics world.

Last week was the launch of the Yayasan Perpaduan Sarawak (YPS) program which you can read about here. The company I work for is one of the organizers for it and one of the events which is organised for the YPS is the logo design competition which I helped to write the rules and regulations for.

Also, Faradale Media publishes Rakan Sarawak; a monthly publication for the Sarawakian Chief Minister's office and my editor asked me to help contribute to the "Fun and Games" section last week. It was fun and a nice break from writing articles. One of the themes for the puzzle was Public Relations" and as you can imagine, I had to keep myself from using all those fancy PR terms.

This is what I can update for now, keep on the lookout for my next post!

Hi Doreen!
Wow it's amazing the things you do in your office. Writing is always a great thing to do when it comes to journalism especially when you write about things that interest you.
I read the article that you linked to Borneo Post Online and well are you lucky to have been there. It must have been a great experience. It's great to hear that you are liking your experience. Keep it up and i can't wait for your next post. I'll be waiting for it. :)
